The Nelson Cycling Club has hosted an Annual Bike Swap for the past five years. It is the club's biggest fundraiser: essential to the club's activities and to all those Nelsonite's  looking to buy or sell biking hardware. The swap has been organized for the last four years by a group of dedicated volunteers who are almost ready to step down but are keen to mentor new volunteers to plan and

The Nelson Cycling Club would like to thank all the mountain bikers in Nelson and area that support the club by becoming members. Fees provided from members are vital support for the core of mountain biking in our community and without a membership; Nelson would not have the infrastructure it does today. Originally built by passionate renegades—and this continues today—many of the trails are now

The newest trail in the Smallwood Trail Network was christened this past Sunday. Votes were counted with a second ballot victory for Vallelujah, a name submitted by Katie Mitchell, avid mountain biker. Other contenders included Moose Knuckle and Morning Wood but without a doubt, the trail was aptly named as all riders will feel the vibe of inspiration as they come up the trail to a stunning view

If any business or individual is interested in sponsoring a toonie ride, let Paula know (paulaowen@shaw.ca)   If you team up with another business, it would only be about $100 per business.  Great way for your business to support the cycling community and gain exposure.  You don't have to sell bikes to sponsor a Toonie ride!  Cyclists go to coffee shops, physios, restaurants, pubs…anyone can

Beware of large trucks up and down grohman creek road when shuttling Shannon! We are starting demolition and construction and there will be lots of heavy machinery on the road. If you don't have a radio, pull over for those trucks, they are not able to brake easily when loaded and comin down the mountain. There is still about a meter of snow on the upper trails. Swamp donkey has been logged.

The agreement the Nelson Cycling Club has with the private land owneron Mountain Station is that there are to be no new trails or stunts atthis point. Trail re-routes to improve the flow and minimize erosionlike the work on Eli Sim are fine, as are the reconstruction ofdamaged structures.Thanks, Joel McBurney, Trail Stewardship Coordinator, NCC.

Trail maintenance Volunteer Day Update 14 or so people got involved on Sunday's Trail Maintenance Party on lower Eli Sim. The blown out corner and the sketchy rooty move by the little creek have been replaced by a half sack of new berms and a fresh carpet of dirt. This season has seen a facelift on Eli from the new logging road right down to the tracks, and it's riding really good, FYI..  Thanks

Here, deep in the Selkirk Mountains, the trails flow over a huge granite base. Spruce and fir stands thrive up high, while trails in the valleys cross through cedar, hemlock, and ponderosa pine forests. The heavily incised drainages provide the ultimate zone for Nelson’s trails to evolve. Due to the harsh topography of the area, riding is almost completely a downhill/freeride affair. Long
